'I just find that term and that kind of calculating politics... so offensive to those who have lost a family member to gun violence.' - BetoORourke on fellow presidential candidate PeteButtigieg calling his mandatory gun buyback plan a 'shiny object.'
Beto O'Rourke sharply criticized Pete Buttigieg this week after the South Bend, Indiana, mayor called O'Rourke's push for mandatory buy-backs of assault-style rifles a"shiny object."
The former Texas congressman and 2020 Democratic presidential candidate characterized Buttigieg's position as driven by political calculation. "I was really offended by those comments," O'Rourke told reporters after a gun control policy forum in Las Vegas on Wednesday."And I think he represents a kind of politics that is focused on poll-testing and focus-group-driving and triangulating and listening to consultants, before you arrive at a position.
